Do Patient-Reported Outcome Measures help Predict Unplanned Hospital Readmission or Mortality?

Unplanned hospital readmissions significantly impact patient outcomes and healthcare costs globally. While prediction models are widely used to identify patients at high risk of readmissions, their discriminative ability often falls short of achieving adequate accuracy.

GHTLD – Small Countries, Global Impact: Shaping the Future of Global Health

Staff Research Rounds – Prof Henk JMM Mutsaerts & Dr Jan Petr

Our work aims to understand how changes in non-invasive brain perfusion MRI can predict cognitive decline in our aging society and its relationship with cardiovascular risk factors. While current imaging techniques can only identify irreversible late-stage structural damage, perfusion MRI is sensitive to early-stage cerebrovascular changes that put patients at risk for cognitive decline. This talk will address the potential of brain perfusion MRI as early biomarker from recent population studies.
